I will believe that Jones is gone when a press release comes out of LSU. I just have no faith in Alleva's ability to effectively evaluate his coaches after his handling of Miles over the last 16 months.

Does not matter who the coach is and just read the History of LSU Basketball. An average of 16 wins a season and no NC's so I would say more of the same.

Why? He gets a bad rap unjustifiably. Miles was one of our winningest coaches in program history. I wanted him gone several years ago because I thought he was incompetent, but it was a tricky situation because he'd win just enough.

He promised changes offensively last year. Alleva game him a shot to fix it. It was glaringly obvious he did nothing to address the offense. Alleva fired him. Put us way ahead of the game finding a coach.

We allegedly targeted Herman. I don't believe Jimbo was ever coming here. Texas opened up. He chose Texas. There wasn't much out there after Herman. He's giving a guy who could be a better fit for the job than anyone an opportunity to essentially prove himself. He hasn't given him a huge contract. There are protections in case he doesn't. I think it's a decent way to do it.

He hired Jones under pressure from the old crew.

So, I'm glad he fired Miles. Results on O are TBD. And he made the wrong call on Jones under pressure from other players. So, one bad hire. And one TBD. Baseball is set.

I don't care about other sports.
